Director JJ Abrams is renowned for his shroud of secrecy around his movies (which include the Star Trek reboot and Super 8) and The Force Awakens has been no different.

In the leaked scene description of an IMAX opening scene, more details are revealed about Daisy Ridley's Rey's mundane life as a space junk scavenger, and the film that's a continuation of the saga created by George Lucas set thirty years after Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.

It is thought that Rey could be the daughter of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher).

She will encounter Stormtrooper John Boyega who is deserted on a planet, thought to be Tatooine, before finding a severed hand clutching a light sabre.

The Force Awakens is the first film in the planned third Star Wars trilogy and has already been described as the most anticipated movie of 2015.

Screencap from new Star Wars trailer

Spoiler alert!

Website Moviepilot has speculated that actor Domhall Gleeson is surely the son of Luke Skywalker but does he know his father is alive?

According to Moviepilot.com rumours indicate that Gleeson will rise in the ranks of the Empire but will be a mole.

He is actually a Jedi in training and has infiltrated the Empire and the Inquisitors in order to carry out Luke's plan.

Rey may be Luke's daughter even though she is known to be the Han and Leia's daughter and Kylo Ren may be the son of Han and Leia.

Star Wars VII is yet to release a fully fledged trailer detailing the key characters of the sci-fi space thriller, but rumours of its premiere keep surfacing on the internet.
